DALLAS — Klay Thompson added another milestone to his illustrious career on Christmas Day, becoming the fifth all-time leader in three-pointers made. Thompson drilled his 2,562nd three-pointer with 8:49 left in the fourth quarter, surpassing Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, who retired in 2005.

“As far as passing Reggie, it's honestly a dream come true,” Thompson said. “I'm gonna celebrate it tonight because just thinking about all the hours you spend shooting, all the shots you've gotten up in your lifetime, and to pass such an icon like Reggie is super surreal for me. Especially being a 90's baby, I watched him hit so many game-winners, battle against the best that ever played, and leave it all out on the floor.”
